Our prediction for this Europa League match:
Wedneday’s football game at Huvepharma Arena pits together Ludogorets and Slavia Prague, the two teams who meet for the first time in the Europa League. The Bulgarian champions are on a three-game winning run in the national championship, but they will have a big fish to fry against Slavia. A man to watch in the home team will be Brazil forward Rwan Seco, who has found his goal-scoring touch of late, while head coach Zahari Sirakov has no fresh injury worries.
The Red and Whites, on the other hand, are eyeing their fifth consecutive win in all competitions. Beating Ludogorets in Razgrad, though, is easier said than done and, taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. Igoh Ogbu limped off with injury in a 3-0 win over Viktoria Plzen, with fellow defender David Zima likely to replace him in the starting XI.
Highlighted Team (Ludogorets):
Bulgarian football club PFC Ludogorets Razgrad, commonly referred to as Eagles, compete at the Ludogorets Arena with the capacity of 8,000. PFC Ludogorets Razgrad are owned by Kiril Domuschiev, who made it his personal goal to propel the club to domestic and international success and to hold up the Bulgarian flag high with nation’s biggest clubs Levski and CSKA going through turbulent times.
Having seen their stock rise astronomically since 2010, PFK Ludogorets Razgrad have become the first Bulgarian club to be features in the UEFA Champions League group stage twice. Previously, their maiden participation happened in 2014-15 season when the Bulgarian club made headlines due to notable results against FC Basel and Liverpool.
Their success on domestic scene has been equally impressive as PFC Ludogorets Razgrad remain the second team in the world to win a treble after being promoted from the second to the first league. Main force of the Bulgarian club are the Brazilian players, currently eight of them in the squad many of whom hold the Bulgarian citizenship.
